It's impossible to describe the flavor of this ham. I use dark brown sugar when I do this and real maple syrup. This is my Easter ham, Christmas ham and, if I do a ham for Thanksgiving, it's my Thanksgiving ham. The marinating time is included in the preparation time. The ham itself is really simple and easy to prepare. Ingredients:
6 -8 lbs precooked ham, fat on |
1 1/2 cups bourbon |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 cup maple syrup |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
1/2 cup pecans, chopped |
1/2 cup pecan halves |
Directions:
1. Score ham.
2. Place ham in a large sealable plastic bag and pour bourbon over ham.
3. Marinate for 2 to 3 hours (I have left it marinating overnight with excellent results).
4. Pour off bourbon, reserving for later, and bake ham at 325 degrees for 2 hours.
5. Melt butter.
6. Stir in reserved bourbon marinade, maple syrup, brown sugar and chopped pecans.
7. Bring to a boil.
8. Pour glaze over ham and brush with a pastry brush.
9. Decorate with pecan halves and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes.
